We arrived at the end of Bright Angel Trail after two months and ten days on the 

 journey through the canyons from Green River, Wyoming, a distance of 850 miles. "In 

 ■five hours we had dropped 178 feet. We anchored under the tramway and prepared to go 

 up Bright Angel Creek and build our signal fire. We had some doubts if the fire would be 

 seen on top, for storm clouds filled the canyon; but now and then a rift appeared and we 

 hoped they saw the light" (see text, page 167, and the next picture).
